What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a hose-supporter, the combination of a hanger from which extenddownwardly hose-supporting members adapted to engage with hose, anattaching-loop pivotally connected to and movable in a plane parallel tothe hanger and having an opening or aperture adapted to cooperate with astud of a corset, said aperture being Wider at its lower portion than atits upper, and a locking-piece rigidly connected with the hanger andlying parallel with the loop in its operative position and terminatingbelow the top of the loop, substantially as set forth.

2. In a hose-supporter, the combination of a hanger, a supporting memberloosely attached thereto, and provided with hose-supports connected tosaid supporting member, an attaching-loop pivoted to the hanger andmovable in a plane parallel therewith and having its opening or aperturetapered longitudinally from the pivoted end of the loop, and alocking-piece extending upward from the hanger and adapted to partiallyclose the open ing of the loop when in operative position, whereby theloop may be locked and unlocked from a stud, substantially as set forth.

3. In a hose-supporter, the combination of a hanger, a supporting memberloosely connected to the hanger, an attaching-loop pivoted to the hangerand having its opening or aperture tapered longitudinally from thepivoted end of the loop, and a locking-piece rigidly connected to thehanger and extending upwardly parallel with the loop when in itsoperative position and adapted to partially close the opening of theloop, one of the parts of the loop and locking-piece being concave andthe other convex, upon their coinciding surfaces whereby they may engageand hold together when in locked position.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

VICTOR GUINZBURG.
